n recent years, more and more Chinese sports brands are no longer satisfied with only local development. With the increasing progress of capital and technology, a large number of domestic sports brands that could only survive under the shadow of Nike and Adi have gained a firm foothold in China. Now they want more than that. Domestic brands even want to make a reversal and enter the American market!
Celebrity spokesperson, this is undoubtedly a big help for a sports brand to succeed. Adidas is precisely because of the shrinking of the spokesperson lineup that they have been suppressed by Nike in recent years.
Li Ning, a domestic sports brand, has long hoped to get a share of the American market. Naturally, it is difficult for Li Ning to win those NBA stars who have already become famous in their prime. So they plan to start from among young people, hoping to sign a long-term endorsement agreement with a young player. When he grows into a superstar, it will be the day when Li Ning succeeds. Look at Nike, who signed Jordan with Huiyan Zhizhu. Didn't it make a beautiful turnaround? This battle has allowed their popularity to continue to the present!
At this time, the "Jordan" in Li Ning's heart is the hottest candidate for the top pick in this draft, and the all-around guard swingman Evan Turner!
In order to evaluate the value of Turner, Li Ning has long sent a special team to conduct a comprehensive observation and evaluation of this champion candidate. In fact, Li Ning had already had initial contact with Turner. Turner also expressed his interest in cooperating with Li Ning to start his career.
For now, Turner's performance has not disappointed Li Ning. Even John Wall, a supernova, cannot compete with Turner in strength and popularity.
However, after Turner's game ended yesterday, Li Ning's observation team discovered something different! And this discovery is likely to set off a huge wave in the country!
"Old Li, read it for yourself!" A young man dropped a newspaper on his desk.
The man called Lao Li put on his eyes, took the newspaper and glanced at it.
"Butler University 98 vs. 76 Ohio State University, the Buckeyes lost 22 points! Turner scored 25 points and still can't make it back!"
"Turner is getting better and better. 25 points. This is almost the highest score among all players that day." Li Yuan, the head of the Li Ning observation team in the United States, put down the all-English newspaper and applauded Nodded. As for the fiasco of Ohio State University? Li Yuan doesn't care. His goal is Turner, not Turner's team.
"No, no, this is not the point, Lao Li. Don't just look at the headline, look down, read the content!" The young man picked up the newspaper again and handed it to Li Yuan.
Li Yuan glanced at the young man in a puzzled way. What information is more important for Bitner to cut down beautiful data? Is it possible that there is still a Chinese Jordan?
Then, Li Yuan really saw "China Jordan" in the content of the report.
"Butler University's No. 1 rookie Yiyang once again became the focus of the game! He scored 19 points and 10 assists in the entire game, and also contributed 3 steals! Among them, Turner's one-stop dunk steals the picture, and even Was selected as the top ten of the day's Big Ten league! The rookie from China has secured the position of Butler University's starting point guard this season. He has even become a player who can be equal to Gordon Hayward. The core of tactics! I believe that in the long season to come, we will also give us more exciting performances!"
The description of Yiyang ends here, Li Yuan hurriedly searched in his own mind, but in the end he was sure that the name Yiyang had never been heard before!
"Chinese playing in NCAA? Chinese American!" Li Yuanchong asked the young man.
"The newspaper said he was from China! If he was a Chinese American, they would not write that way!"
"Hurry up and call the headquarters and tell us that we have new discoveries. In China, no one knows about this yet?" Li Yuan's eyes flashed, and it seemed that he had discovered another way of making money.
"When did China pay attention to the NCAA? None of the Chinese who came to the NCAA to play well! If this Yiyang can be played, we have to start first!"
"Haha, Evan Turner, Evan Turner, you are so **** surprises!" Li Yuan laughed happily, if he brought two people worth signing to Li Ning headquarters at one time. Isn't it just a matter of getting promoted to make a fortune?
※※※
Not just Li Ning, but after defeating the Buckeyes led by Turner, Butler University became famous. And Hayward and Yiyang are called "the most terrifying offensive duo" by the media!
"A point guard who can make good passes, a small forward who can score, plus a stable captain and a soft-handed center. The Bulldogs are definitely worthy of everyone's expectations this season. Of course, the NBA team The scouts of the United States will definitely visit Butler University. Among these people, maybe the next NBA star will appear?"
"Yi's performance is very good. His impact on the basket will cause headaches for all teams. Of course, it would not be surprising if he was just a defender who would hit the basket. The most prominent place is that It's because he can always sort out the Bulldogs' offense. This guy's passes are always fatal. In Hayward's words, to play next to him, you just catch the ball and shoot in the open. !"
Outside, the media all praised Butler University. And Yiyang quickly became one of the star players in the NCAA league.
In just two games, Yiyang has already proven himself in the NCAA league. On campus, Yiyang is also becoming more and more popular.
When Yiyang is in the classroom, there are always many students watching him outside the classroom. Every time he walks out of the classroom, he has to work hard, which is almost more difficult than breaking through defense on the basketball court.
But this boy who grew up in a slum was not stunned by this little success. He knew that there was still a long way to go before the goal he set.
Stevens did not leave in a hurry after today's training. He deliberately waited on the basketball court, waiting to see the results of Yiyang's shooting training.
"Brad, you really hurt me!" While Stevens was waiting, the team's shooting coach Burris appeared first.
"What's the matter, Burris, Yina is not obedient?" Stevens knew Yiyang's bad temper, where could a boy who had threatened to kill Harpy be so meek.
"You know Brad, there are four children in my family to take care of. My wife alone will be very busy. After the training time at 8 o'clock every night, I must rush back to take care of the children. But also, he just refused to leave!" Burris began to spit out bitterness at Stevens.
Stevens smiled, showing white teeth. This was something he hadn't thought of before.
"Even the Hayward kid, he leaves after training every day. But also, the last time he let me practice with him until half past ten! I said to him, please, I have to go home to watch What about children, don't you have children?...Yes, you are a child yourself. Then don't you have to go on a date with your girlfriend? I think the girls in the cheerleader group like you very much. As a result, he Tell me, I'm single. I said you go wherever you want, and we will continue to practice tomorrow. He pointed to the hardwood floor and said that this was the only place he wanted to stay! God, he may be the No. 1 in Bulldog history. A player who can drive the coach crazy!" Burris shook his head. It's not that he is not dedicated enough, but no one is willing to work overtime every day.
If Yiyang is a professional player, but as a student player, Burris is really worried about leaving Yiyang alone on the training ground. If he has any shortcomings, Burris can't afford it.
So this honest shooting coach was so tortured by Yiyang for more than a week. I didn't have dinner with my family for more than a week, and I didn't meet the children before they fell asleep. No one can stand this kind of work intensity.
"Hahaha, thank you Borris. I will talk to him, okay? From today on, I promise you can go home every day to take care of your children." Stevens patted Borris's Shoulder, Stevens was actually very happy to hear the news. Yiyang, an unruly guy, could not have imagined that he would be so obsessed with training.
You need to know that many NCAA stars who come out of the ghetto will quickly fall after seeing the colorful world. Not everyone can resist the temptation of fame and fortune. The group of people who can persist until they fall into the NBA are already very persevering.
Although NCAA is not a business league on the surface, the money transactions between student players and the outside world have never been a lot.
Just when Stevens and Burris had a heated conversation, Yiyang and Hayward walked out of the basketball court side by side.
Now, Yiyang can chat with Hayward without a word. It seems that in his heart, he has put down his guard against his teammates.
"Coach Stevens! Why are you still here today?" Seeing Stevens standing on the sidelines, Hayward was obviously surprised. Yiyang was also surprised, but after he took a look at Stevens, he started shooting to warm up.
"I want to stay today to see the results of your and Yijia's training! The recent training, everything is going well, right?"
"Very smoothly! Did you know the coach, Yiyang's shooting percentage has improved amazingly!" Hayward was excited to share the information of Yiyang with Stevens. This warm-hearted white forward is more happy to see his teammates improving than he is.
"What about the three-point shooting percentage? I'm talking about the NBA-standard three-point shooting percentage."
"Uh..." At this point, Hayward scratched his head, because Yiyang's progress beyond the three-point line was indeed limited.
"Cut, I will get accurate sooner or later." Yiyang, who was silent for a long time, finally spoke.
"Okay, let's start your training. Just as usual, just show your best condition." Stevens retired from the stadium. This year, Butler University is the most promising two people to enter the NBA league. Will it make him happy or disappointed?
Hayward and Yiyang each trained in a half-court under the leadership of different coaches. On Hayward's side, the training has been more advanced. Interference shots, withdrawal shots, emergency stop jump shots, shots after circumventing obstacles, etc., he did all the same.
These seemingly basic things actually require a player to spend countless hours in order to be able to do well on the basketball court. Not everyone is a monster like O'Neal, who can dominate the league without frequent training.
As for Yiyang, his shooting practice is the foundation of the foundation-fixed-point jumper.
is divided into two types: shooting after receiving the ball and shooting after dribbling. As Hayward said, Yiyang's shooting percentage from the three-point line has been greatly improved.
Not only did he get rid of the previous irregular shooting movements, he also slightly increased his shooting speed. If the shot speed is fast enough, it will be more difficult for Yiyang to be blocked.
After , Yiyang's shooting point became beyond the three-point line. It is not the three-point line of the NCAA stadium, but the NBA three-point line specially drawn by Burris for Yiyang.
Here, Yiyang's hit rate is not so optimistic. He can score several goals in a row, and can also throw more goals in a row. Not stable enough is the biggest problem of Yiyang.
After training in a group, Yiyang was already sweating profusely. Even though shooting is a basic action in basketball, it can be repeated for a long time, which is quite boring.
The first set of training is over, and Stevens is quite satisfied with the performance of Yiyang and Hayward. Although Yiyang's three-pointers have not improved significantly, Stevens knows that Rome was not built in a day. As long as Yiyang continues to maintain such momentum, progress will be a matter of time.
"Also! Come here!" With Burris's winking expression, Stevens finally waved to Yiyang.
"What's the matter?" Yiyang's tone was still cold. UU reading www. uukānshu.com
"I heard you train late every day?"
"It's not too late. If it wasn't for Coach Burris to go home, I would practice until 12 o'clock every day." Yiyang answered bluntly.
"It's great to have this kind of hard work, but now I want you to go home after training is over at 8:30 every day!" Stevens's tone became tough. He knew that it would be soft to deal with children like Yiyang. It's useless.
"Excessive training will only make your body bear double fatigue. Double fatigue will greatly increase your risk of injury. After injury, hoo! Everything is gone! Your mother once told me that your father is You had to retire because of injuries. You wouldn't want such a thing to happen to you." Stevens stared at Yiyang, so beyond doubt.
Yiyang glared at Stevens first, but soon recovered his calm. He doesn't like people mentioning his late father, but he also knows that this coach is thinking about himself.
"I see, coach." Yiyang nodded slightly.
"Very well, go back to training. Coach Burris also needs the company of his family. Remember, start training on time and end training on time!" Stevens gave Yiyang a thumbs up, and Yiyang ran back and continued. Boring shooting practice.
Burris walked to the sidelines and said thank you to Stevens.
Seeing the troublemaker training **** the field, Burris couldn't help showing a proud smile.
"I promise, this kid will make me famous." Burris stared at Yiyang, his best student.
"In five years, Boris, this kid you trained can be worth 50 million US dollars!" Stevens took his hands up, as if the bright future of Yiyang appeared before him...
